Lyrics
Number One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You walk in here, and it seems you think
You own the place.
You ruin the sinks and you write on the wall.
After all the consideration given you,
I thought you would be grateful,
But no, you're not at all.
[Chorus]
What can I do, what can I do, I've tried.
What can I say, do it my way.
Don't you forget, never forget,
I'm Number One, yes, I'm Number One.
Number One, and you're still no one.
You say you're angry,
It doesn't make much sense to me.
You're paying your rent,
And at least you've got a job.
I've explained all the sacrifices offered you.
You take them without thanks,
I forget that you're still slobs.
[Repete Chorus]
